STATUE OF GUIDO GEZELLE
Statue of Guido Gezelle, housed in the house where he was born, with a museum retracing the life and work of this local figure.
Since 1930, the statue of Flemish priest and poet Guido Gezelle (1830-1899) has stood at the center of the beautiful square that bears his name. Guido Gezelle was one of the first to establish Flemish as a language, which until then had been considered a regional dialect and secondary language. The written language was French. But Guido Gezelle, through his poems, brought out the beauty and sonorities of the Flemish language. A museum retracing the life and work of this local personality is housed in his birthplace in the Sainte-Anne district.
